Although snow has recently fallen, the anticipation for outdoor activities has been building. Early spring offers a plethora of family-friendly events throughout the Northern New Jersey area.

While on horseback, children and adults are invited to search the grounds for Easter eggs containing candy and toys.

Registration is required.
